Sigrid af Forselles

Trained in sculpture in Helsinki and then in Paris with Alfred Boucher and Auguste Rodin, Sigrid af Forselles studied at the Académie Colarossi and worked in the studio on rue Notre-Dame-des-Champs alongside Camille Claudel, Jessie Lipscomb, and Madeleine Jouvray. After a troubled friendship with Jouvray, she settled in Florence and created the symbolist-inspired cycle of reliefs Progrès de l’âme humaine.
